Jeremy
Okay. A part of your story you just, you mentioned, and this is something we've never talked about on the podcast before, and yet it's something that a lot of our listeners have experienced, and that's broken marriage.
- [00:10]
Jacob Peterson
I'm gonna be completely honest. I think a lot of it I've blocked out subconsciously. Growing up, constantly yelling in the house, like constant, you know, disagreements and yelling. And I think that was really hard. And I felt like I almost had to step in and be a leadership figure. And it's just because when mom and dad are yelling and the kids are scared or the kids are frustrated or, you know, whatever it might be like, who's there to actually comfort them?
- [00:31]
Julia Peterson
I watched the show. I really admired how a lot of you girls married the first person you dated. I was really inspired by that and I was really firm with the intention to date, to marry. And it genuinely stemmed from your show. And I was really, really wanted my first kiss and the first person I dated to be the person that I married.
- [00:54]
Jacob Peterson
And that's worked out.
- [00:55]
Jeremy
Hey, guys. So our guest this week we are very excited about. It's a young couple, gen zer couple, Jacob and Julia Peterson, and they've got a massive following on TikTok on YouTube amongst the younger generation. So a lot of you guys, as our listeners might not have been aware of their platform, what they're doing, but you're going to love this conversation. We talk about some really difficult topics like divorce and remarriage. We talk about dating and how the Duggars influenced their dating life. And. And we also talk about what's going on in the culture today and what Jesus is doing amongst the young people.
- [01:30]
Ginger
Yeah, I know you guys are going to be super encouraged by this, so let's jump right in.
- [01:38]
Jeremy
What's going on, guys? We're back for another episode of the Ginger and Jeremy podcast and we have some very special guests in the studio. Our new friends, Jacob and Julia Peterson.
- [01:49]
Jacob Peterson
What's up?
- [01:50]
Ginger
Welcome to the podcast.
- [01:51]
Jeremy
Welcome to the studio.
- [01:52]
Jacob Peterson
So excited. Thanks for having us.
- [01:53]
Jeremy
All the way from Arkansas.
- [01:54]
Jacob Peterson
That's right. 12 hour travel day.
- [01:57]
Jeremy
Not the same Arkansas as Ginger. This is a different part of the land.
- [02:00]
Ginger
Yeah, it is so different because we're from northwest Arkansas, Walmart headquarters, you know, that's what we're known for. But tell us, where are you all from?
- [02:10]
Jacob Peterson
So originally I'm from Iowa, so I was born in New Jersey, and then my mom and my dad actually met. My dad was in the Navy and so my dad was from Iowa. So then we ended up moving from Iowa. Pretty much grew up there my entire life, and now we're in Arkansas, so.
- [02:26]
Julia Peterson
Yeah. And I'm from here, California, and I have extended family in Arkansas. We ended up in Arkansas when we got married. We'll get into that. I'm sure how we ended up there, but you're thinking, like, the nice side of Arkansas where people see all the fun restaurants and things to do. Think fried chicken banks and churches, and that's where we live.
- [02:47]
Jacob Peterson
That's about it.
- [02:48]
Jeremy
So what in the world could take. I mean, you're from dirty Jersey. That's where I'm from. East coast, baby. Like, all my dad's family's from Jersey. And they would always joke that when you drive into New Jersey, you see a sign that says, welcome to New Jersey. Now go home. And then you're from west coast. You're a SoCal girl. Arkansas. Like, what's going on?
- [03:09]
Julia Peterson
I know.
- [03:09]
Jeremy
Have you adopted the lifestyle?
- [03:11]
Julia Peterson
Have we adopted. Adopted the accent?
- [03:15]
Ginger
That's what I was wondering.
- [03:17]
Jacob Peterson
I don't even know.
- [03:18]
Ginger
I only hear a slight bit. Slight bit.
- [03:21]
Jacob Peterson
There you go.
- [03:22]
Ginger
But you know what's funny? I think that whenever I know that somebody is from, you know, Arkansas, Texas, one of those more like Southern states, I start talking with. I say y'.
- [03:33]
Julia Peterson
All.
- [03:33]
Ginger
I start, like, drawing words out just because I know they're not natives. But y' all aren't.
- [03:38]
Julia Peterson
No, we're not.
- [03:39]
Ginger
No, See, just said y'.
- [03:41]
Julia Peterson
All. Right. Y' all aren't. We do say y', all, but we've always said y'.
- [03:44]
Ginger
All.
- [03:44]
Jacob Peterson
That's definitely something I've picked up a little more. Is y'.
- [03:46]
Jeremy
All.
- [03:46]
Julia Peterson
Yes.
- [03:47]
Jeremy
Okay. So you guys have a fascinating story, and I'm really excited for our audience to sort of have this crossover with you guys, because you're in a bit of a different space. You're in the TikTok world, and you guys have gained an incredible following, and the Lord's just gifted you with a platform where millions of people are following along on what you guys are doing, and you're using that for Christ. So you're in, like, this Christian influencer space, which is really cool, but you guys are being good stewards of that platform, and you've got exciting stuff happening. So we want to get into all of that. Yeah, but give us a bit of, like, a little bio of yourselves, and then we want to hear how you guys met. So give us, like, a little glimpse into your lives.
- [04:31]
Jacob Peterson
Yeah, you can go first.
- [04:32]
Julia Peterson
Oh, okay. Well, yeah. So born and raised in California. Which is kind of ironic because I know you're from Arkansas now we're in California and we swapped. Yeah, we really did. And yeah. So born and raised California. My parents born and raised in California. So we got some deep roots here in California and basically grew up in a Christian home. I knew who Jesus was, but I didn't know Jesus until I got into middle school and I was faced with the question like, will you go to heaven when you die? And that was obviously a scary thing for me. But at the same time I didn't know the answer and I kind of felt like, you know, I needed to get saved every vbs and the things you do when you grow up in church. And so it was just one day that it all clicked for me. I like understood what it meant to love Jesus. I craved to actually read the Bible, which I had never experienced that before. I knew where my salvation lied and it was just like a moment between me and the Lord and that was when my walk with the Lord started. Wanted to be in the medical field. I was going to be valedictorian and had straight A's my entire life. Absolutely was crushed in 6th grade when I got my first B and I went to the teacher and begged for extra credit. Did not get it. And so that ruined my straight. Anyway, as you can see, I was like a goody two shoes. Like just wanted good grades, everything. Well, God revealed to me that he wanted me to be in ministry through a few different things. Like you know how people always say like oh, as parents we can read our kids minds. My mom literally I think was spoken to by God to ask me a question. She's like, do you feel like God is calling you to maybe lead worship or be in ministry? And I was like oh my gosh, I had that thought today. Like the words that were in my head. My mom had spoke to me. So anyway, that felt like that confirmed it for me. Went off the medical track, started going to Bible college, all in that time started doing social media and that was how I met Jacob. Was on TikTok, which is so weird.
- [06:41]
Jacob Peterson
Like yeah, I feel like the dating world nowadays is so heavily online. I don't know if that's just us, but I feel like people are constantly like meeting people through social media. I mean it's just wild.
- [06:50]
Jeremy
Everything's changing.
- [06:51]
Jacob Peterson
It's so crazy.
- [06:52]
Julia Peterson
So anyway, started doing social media and then one thing led to another and we ended up in Arkansas and with.
- [06:59]
Jeremy
An eight month old, with an eight.
- [07:00]
Julia Peterson
Month old baby and we're married From TikTok.
- [07:02]
Jeremy
Same thing. You have a baby, Little Judah, who's just a couple months ahead of Finn.
- [07:06]
Julia Peterson
Yes.
- [07:06]
Jacob Peterson
So crazy. I know.
- [07:08]
Julia Peterson
They're so cute.
- [07:09]
Jacob Peterson
Seeing them together today, I was like, oh, he's got a friend. And so we don't have a ton of people, like, in our area. I mean, we've got some friends in our area who have young kids, but not too many. So it's always good being able to have him around people the same age.
- [07:21]
Ginger
Yeah, that's so fun.
- [07:22]
Julia Peterson
I love it.
- [07:23]
Jeremy
So what about you, Jacob? You said you were born in Jersey, moved to Iowa, but tell us a bit about your life.
- [07:27]
Jacob Peterson
Yeah. So born in Jersey, moved to Iowa when I was 4. And, man, I grew up in a really great household like my parents. I don't know how to put it in the best terms, but, like, my parents loved God, but I didn't. They didn't know what it meant to have a relationship with Jesus, and so I didn't either. It was kind of just like, treat others how you want to be treated, like, hey, you know, be a good person, that sort of thing. And growing up, I had a. I feel like a really good childhood, and I always get the years messed up. But when I was about 9 to 10 years old, my parents. This is a big part of my story, they ended up getting a divorce. And that was the first point in my life that I questioned, like, okay, God, if you're the giver of all good things, like, why does my family look different than everybody else's? And that kind of like, hit me in the heart because I see all my friends and they're hanging out with mom and dad, and it's dad and the kids, or mom and the kids. So it's different, right? And so that was kind of the first point where I wasn't questioning my faith. But I'm the oldest of three. You know, at that point, it's like, okay. I also kind of have to be like this figure towards my siblings as well, because it's not the normal family dynamic that you normally have. Right. And so there was a lot of maturing, and I just started to wrestle with God a little bit and asking him these questions, you know, like, man, why? Why is this happening to my family? And why is this not happening to other families? But it's so cool because, man, Scripture says God works together. You know, the evil things for good for. Excuse me. God works together things for good for those who love him. I think it's that verse, Romans 8, 28 or whatever it is. Um, and though I couldn't see it, then three years later, my parents ended up getting remarried. Just to skip through kind of a bunch of things, but they ended up getting remarried. And it was one of those things where they really noticed it was having an effect on me and my siblings. And it was so crazy because it wasn't even one of those things where there was this, like, miraculous story of how they got back together. They really, at that point, had a lot of crap to work through still. But they chose to get back together and to put their family first and honor the commitment that they had made to God years before. And so this is, like, where a big part of my testimony starts is in high school, my mom's dad, my grandpa, he passed away unexpectedly. And he was like a second dad to me. And it was news that caught my whole family off guard. And that was when I knew, like, life isn't promised. And so it's kind of the same thing with Julia where it's like, I can't put my faith in people. I can't put my faith in, like, ordinary, regular things. Like. Cause at this point, I still don't have a relationship with Jesus. Like, I know of God. Like, I'm a fan of Jesus, not a follower type thing. And at that point, I really started to dig into, like, okay, why do I believe what I believe? Like, why do I believe in God? And it just led me to start reading the Bible, and I had never read the Bible beforehand. And I ended up coming to the conclusion that obviously, like, as a Christian, like, Jesus is my savior and that I do believe the Bible is completely true. The Lord was, like, my crutch in this season, and it really to fast forward a little bit so we can, you know, talk a little bit more about this later. But after truly finding Jesus, I found my purpose.

Ginger
We want to take a break from this episode to tell you about function, health.
- [10:47]
Jeremy
I don't think there's anything more terrifying than going to your doctor and receiving unexpected news that something has gone wrong. And, yeah, I mean, your whole life flashes before your eyes because you realize that all of the plans you've made, family, the investments you've done with your friends, your loved ones, hinges on your health and function. Health gives you a near 360 view of what's going on inside your body to keep you healthy. We don't want to be reactive in our healthcare. We don't want to have some serious issue go wrong and then go, okay, I should see the doctor. You want to be proactive. You want to stay ahead of the game. There are widowmakers, they call them inside of your chest where things are going wrong and you have no idea. We just had a friend who had four clogged arteries, went through two heart attacks, was seven minutes away from dying. They got him to the hospital and said, if you were seven minutes later, he'd be dead. He's a dear friend, he's healthy, he's a pastor. And you think, man, so much can change. Function health allows you to see what's going on inside your body.
- [11:50]
Ginger
What's super cool is you can get access to over 100 plus biomarkers, from hormones to toxins to markers of heart health, inflammation, and stress. And for no additional fee, you can also access MRI and chest scans. And so I'm telling you, it is the way to go if you want to know what's happening inside your body.

- [13:48]
Ginger
Now back to the episode.
- [13:51]
Jacob Peterson
Throughout school, I was. I graduated in 2019. That's kind of when I started to do social media and started posting about Jesus, like, just posting about my faith. And it was really cool because I did it for, like, eight months. And I don't know if you guys have ever had this, but there came a point where I felt like I was kind of doing it for myself instead of the Lord. And so I ended up deleting social media. I had, like, 600,000 followers, and I just deleted it. And I was like, okay. Like, I feel like I'm doing this for the wrong reason, so I'm just gonna sit with the Lord for a while.
- [14:24]
Jeremy
Yeah.
- [14:25]
Jacob Peterson
And so about eight months later, I just grew so deep in my relationship with God, and I was like, okay, Lord, what do you want me to do with this platform? Cause I have it. And the first video back, I pretty much made a video that was the gospel, and it got, like, 3.6 million views. I'm like, okay, I know what you want me to do. And through that, met Julia. We posted the same type of content, and we're friends for a little bit. Just kind of like in the same family.
- [14:48]
Julia Peterson
Why were we friends? Jacob?
- [14:49]
Jacob Peterson
Why were we friends? Well, we were friends because I had a different girlfriend at the time.
- [14:54]
Jeremy
Oh, there's always a complication.
- [14:56]
Julia Peterson
There's lore there. Okay.
- [14:58]
Jacob Peterson
Yeah. But I had a different girlfriend at the time, so we were just friends.
- [15:02]
Jeremy
And who noticed who first on social media?
- [15:05]
Julia Peterson
Well, okay, listen.
- [15:07]
Ginger
We.
- [15:08]
Julia Peterson
Jacob, I think. I don't know Jacob came to me because I was friends with all the people doing content social media at the time. He didn't really know anybody. So I remember the moment vividly. I was on Livestream. I don't even know what I was doing in my kitchen. And Jacob's like, hey, want to do a Bible study sometime? I'm like, this guy's sliding into my DMs. Okay, wait.
- [15:32]
Jacob Peterson
I've never done a Bible study in my life with anybody.
- [15:35]
Julia Peterson
I didn't know that. So I give him my number. He DMs me on TikTok. I'm like, here's my number. Let's do a Bible study. He's like, okay, great. And I'm like, I'll connect you with all my friends. And then, you know, I'm like, I'm speaking at this conference. You should come speak at this conference. Let's do this. I had a crush on him. We never really discussed anything. We never really flirted. I just. I kind of assumed he liked me because obviously. And no. And. I don't know, I just thought he was giving me attention because he liked me. Anyways, we're talking. He's like, yeah, well, you know, the girl I'm talking to, she's blonde and she. I was like, you're not talking to me.
- [16:13]
Jacob Peterson
Oh, okay.
- [16:14]
Julia Peterson
News to me.
- [16:15]
Jacob Peterson
So Julia was a part of this, like, group, like, to put out there. There were a bunch of Christians who had, like, this, like, account that they kind of all posted on and, like, shared Jesus. And so I was like, I want to meet some more community. And so that's kind of where that stemmed from.
- [16:29]
Jeremy
But you guys can be knuckleheads sometimes, right?
- [16:32]
Julia Peterson
Right.
- [16:32]
Jeremy
I don't see what's right.
- [16:33]
Julia Peterson
And so anyway, it was just. Yeah, one thing led to another. It was like, a year later, we actually got to know each other as friends first, which is really nice.
- [16:42]
Ginger
Where were you living at this time?
- [16:43]
Jacob Peterson
Acquaintances? I was in Iowa.
- [16:44]
Julia Peterson
Iowa. California.
- [16:46]
Ginger
California at that time. Okay.
- [16:48]
Jacob Peterson
Yeah.
- [16:48]
Julia Peterson
So when we did start dating, it was long distance for about six months.
- [16:53]
Jeremy
And then now there's a little bit of Duggar something in your dating perspective.
- [17:00]
Julia Peterson
Yes.
- [17:00]
Jeremy
Cause you told me this the other day, that you used to watch Duggars growing up.
- [17:06]
Julia Peterson
So I debated saying that because I didn't want to be some, like, you know, fangirl.
- [17:12]
Ginger
Oh, no, no.
- [17:15]
Julia Peterson
I grew up watching 17, 18, 19.
- [17:19]
Ginger
The. The old ones.
- [17:21]
Julia Peterson
Yes. I have them.
- [17:22]
Ginger
That's on DVDC. On DVD. We need those DVDs. Do you still have.
- [17:27]
Julia Peterson
I do, actually.
- [17:28]
Jacob Peterson
I did not know about this, by the way, until you DM me. You're like, yo, have we met? And then I told Julia, and she's.
- [17:34]
Ginger
Like, I love it.
- [17:36]
Jeremy
That's hilarious.
- [17:37]
Julia Peterson
I was like, I'm pretty sure I watched their wedding on tv.
- [17:40]
Ginger
So funny.
- [17:41]
Julia Peterson
But, yeah, so I grew up watching. I'm an only child. I don't think I mentioned that. So being, you know, I watched all the TLC shows, and I was like, oh, this is my. You know, my mom's like, oh, this is great. We'll watch it together. And just this Christian family, being from California that just. You don't see big families like that. You. Anyway, so, yeah, I watched the show I really admired how a lot of you girls married the first person you dated or, you know, so it seemed on the show. I don't know how, like, you know, but I was really inspired by that. And I didn't want to date around. I didn't want to just have all these relationships that weren't going to go anywhere. And I was really firm with the intention to date, to marry. And it genuinely stemmed from your show. And I read your book growing up, Duggar. I still have it. And so anyway, yeah, from that I was very reserved with dating and things like that. Obviously, I did meet Jacob when I was very young. I met Jacob when I was 16. We started dating when I was 17.
- [18:47]
Jeremy
Oh, wow.
- [18:48]
Julia Peterson
So I didn't have a lot of time. How old are you guys before that? I'm 22.
- [18:51]
Jacob Peterson
25. Got it.
- [18:52]
Julia Peterson
Yes. So I didn't have a lot of time before that. I had to date too many people.
- [18:56]
Jeremy
We're getting old.
- [18:57]
Ginger
We're super old.
- [18:58]
Jeremy
Like, I don't need. I didn't. That just hit me. That just me hit. Sorry, I just gotta take a beat here. We're in a real hard like. Okay, so I'm 16 years older than her.
- [19:11]
Julia Peterson
What did you say when I said lore earlier?
- [19:13]
Jeremy
Okay, you guys didn't invent lore. Lore's been around for a while.
- [19:16]
Jacob Peterson
They know what that means. They know that word.
- [19:18]
Jeremy
Gen zers over here.
- [19:20]
Julia Peterson
Sorry.
- [19:23]
Jeremy
That's funny. Sorry, I just gotta reor.
- [19:26]
Jacob Peterson
Okay, we're good.
- [19:26]
Jeremy
No, we're back. We're back. 22, 25.
- [19:29]
Julia Peterson
Yeah, I didn't have much time to, like, date around, but, you know, were opportunities and things. But yeah, I was really, really wanted my first kiss and the first person I dated to be the person that I married.
- [19:40]
Jacob Peterson
And that's worked out.
- [19:42]
Julia Peterson
That is how.
- [19:44]
Jeremy
I do owe it.
- [19:45]
Julia Peterson
To you to be as an inspiration. And. Yeah, so that was one of the.
- [19:50]
Jeremy
Things that's really cool to get that perspective though, because, yeah, that is. You were living it. And you've met so many people who've been impacted in different ways. You know, when you mentioned that to me and you were like, I don't want a fan girl, I was like, well, first of all, you can't fangirl over Ginger more than I do. So I love that everybody always comes up and says, like, I love your wife. I'm like, same. She's my favorite dugger.
- [20:10]
Ginger
I'm like, same.
- [20:11]
Jeremy
You know, like, we're the same here. So. But then it made me realize, well, I was just thinking, like, it hit me, like, just how impactful I think the show was. We forget that. Cause it's been off the. The whatever you call. Hasn't been on TV for a while. But there were a lot of young women like yourself who would have been watching that, and that was shaping how they perceived, you know, how they should pursue relationships.
- [20:39]
Julia Peterson
Yeah.
- [20:40]
Ginger
And also, you were probably like, oh, my gosh, I'm so thankful I don't have 19 siblings. Like, you probably wanted more siblings.
- [20:48]
Julia Peterson
No, listen, I had. I'm a J name, right?
- [20:51]
Ginger
Yeah.
- [20:51]
Julia Peterson
You guys are gonna think this is a gay.
- [20:52]
Ginger
Yeah. So you just fit in.
- [20:54]
Julia Peterson
Like, I said yes. And you didn't have a Julia, so I was like, I could be Tucker. And then. Yeah, it was literally like.
- [21:00]
Jeremy
And they don't have a weird.
- [21:01]
Julia Peterson
We're not.
- [21:02]
Jeremy
And they don't have a Judah.
- [21:03]
Ginger
So you're like, oh, I know which one of the kids. That's what half of them did back in the day. They'd be like, I'm going to write a letter and say, I want to meet you.
- [21:15]
Julia Peterson
A letter?
- [21:16]
Ginger
Did you write a letter?
- [21:16]
Julia Peterson
No, I didn't write a letter, no. And it wasn't even one of those things, like.
- [21:21]
Jeremy
Oh, my goodness.
- [21:23]
Ginger
And here it is.

Julia Peterson
Oh, my gosh. No, it was not to that level, but it was like, I wanted to be like, a sibling because I had no siblings. I loved being an only child. Obviously, my parents are amazing. I had a great upbringing. But watching that sibling dynamic was so interesting. It's so drastically different from my upbringing. So, yeah, that was really fun to watch.
- [21:48]
Ginger
So you have two siblings, right?
- [21:50]
Jacob Peterson
Yeah, I have a brother and a sister, and they're both younger and then.
- [21:52]
Ginger
Yes, both younger. And how much younger are they than you?
- [21:55]
Jacob Peterson
Two years. So my brother's two years younger than me, and then my sister is four years younger than me, but two years younger than me. That's awesome.
- [22:01]

Now back to the episode. We want to take a break from this episode to tell you about Nutrafol.
- [23:24]
Jeremy
So you've probably seen a ton of adverts for like hair growth stuff. I was watching the Dodgers playing the other day and the Nutrafol ads were all across the stadium and I thought, you know, people see these ads and they probably are real skeptical. This is like physician recommended hair growth supplements that actually work.

Ginger
So yeah, if you're dealing with hair issues like thinning or shedding, but you feel totally stuck on what to try next, I get it. Like, there's so many things, there's so many products out there, it's hard to decide what to use. I actually got the Nutrafol postpartum supplements because I feel like they are perfect for this season. I have a ton of hair loss postpartum and so they've been amazing to have. And my, I was, I was getting my hair done for an event the other day and the lady was like, oh my goodness, you have all these baby hairs. They're actually growing back really fast. I was like, yes, girl. The hairstylist was commenting on it. But Nutrafol helps with that.

- [24:52]
Ginger
Now back to the episode.
- [24:55]
Jeremy
So, okay, a part of your story, you just. You mentioned. And this is something we've never talked about on the podcast before, and yet it's something that a lot of our listeners have experienced, currently are experiencing the pain of it, and that's broken marriage.
- [25:10]
Jacob Peterson
Yeah.
- [25:11]
Jeremy
And, you know, it's interesting, like, both of you are so grateful for your upbringings, and you just said, my parents were great, your house was great. You watched on tv, sort of like. And definitely TV portrayed it as, like, this perfect family. And very much so. Mr. And Mrs. Duggar love each other dearly, like a very tight family. And you could look at that and say, that's so ideal. And yet some of these people's reality is the opposite. It's fractured relationships, it's divorce. It's the broken covenant. And there's a lot to your story because your parents found redemption.
- [25:50]
Jacob Peterson
Yes.
- [25:51]
Jeremy
But I want to ask you a few questions about that. And begin with, how did that divorce affect you as a kid? And then also, you had the added weight of being big brother to two younger siblings.
- [26:05]
Jacob Peterson
Yeah. I mean, like, I'm gonna be completely honest. I think a lot of it I've blocked out subconsciously just because it was, like, it was. I don't know if, like, it was traumatic. We've had this conversation, and she's like, I think you. Like, you don't remember a lot of it because it was so traumatic. Like, growing up, there was a. Like, my mom and my dad, like, I'm gonna share a little. I kind of shared it with you earlier, but I'm gonna share a little bit more to the story about the even greater redemption picture. But so, like, my parents marriage, like, it's just so crazy because there's still so much. Like, I don't even. My parents did a very good job of shielding us from the reasonings why. I'll say that. And I don't know exactly why they got divorced, and I don't really ever want to know. But I, like, growing up, constantly yelling in the house, like, constant, you know, disagreements and yelling. And I think that was really hard. And one thing, like, we've made such an effort to do in our marriage is, like, I saw how that affected us kids growing up. And, like, one thing we were like, man, like, because we've seen it, it's just, like, rooted in me. Like, my family, that's what they did. And so, like, I remember when we first got married, we had to work through. Like, there are times where I would get upset, and I'm like, dude, like, I'm Becoming the person I don't want to become, you know, and so we've had to work through that. But it was hard. And being, like you said, being the oldest sibling, I felt like I almost had to step in and be a leadership figure. And it's just because when mom and dad are yelling and the kids are scared or the kids are frustrated or, you know, whatever it might be, like, who's there to actually comfort them? It's like, I am, and I'm not taking all the credit for it, but being the oldest, that's kind of my role at that point. And so that's just the role I assumed. And, yeah, there's. I think there's a lot more that I don't remember subconsciously than I physically, like, do remember. But, yeah, lots of yelling, lots of different disagreements, and I don't know exactly why things went the way they did. But that's why even when Julia and I, like, were pursuing each other for marriage, we took steps above and beyond to make sure, like, we're doing this thing right. Like, what is marriage? Like, what kind of commitment are we making when we say we're gonna get married? Like, what. What's the crap that we have to work through before we get married? And so that was really important to us. And at the end of the day, I think it shaped me as a person, and I'm just gonna kind of go into the bigger part of the story. I started posting on social media. Well, I was going to be a chiropractor. I don't know if I told you this, but I was going to be a chiropractor.
- [28:37]
Julia Peterson
And he's also a certified massage therapist.
- [28:39]
Jacob Peterson
I am. Hey, yeah. Yeah, I've got all kinds of different things, but, yeah, I had about a semester left for my bachelor's, and I was getting ready to go to chiropractic school, and God, like, called me into ministry at this church event that I went to. And it was, like, delayed. The pastor was talking about how delayed obedience is disobedience. And for the longest time, I was wrestling, like, am I supposed to go into ministry? Am I supposed to? Because, like.
- [29:04]
Julia Peterson
Well, let me just interject here. When I first started, like, talking to Jacob, as, you know, actually talking to him and dating, I told my mom, and I never said to anyone else, I said, the only thing is, he's not going into ministry, and I don't see how it's gonna work.
- [29:20]
Jacob Peterson
Oh, yeah, this is crazy.
- [29:21]
Julia Peterson
All this debt. He's gonna be in school for million years. We're gonna have to do long distance and all this stuff. Yeah, I. The one thing I can't get past. And she never brought this upstream, never told him this. And one day he calls me, he's like, julia, I am dropping out of school and well, I'm sorry I'm spoiling your story.
- [29:39]
Jacob Peterson
It's okay.
- [29:40]
Julia Peterson
I want to do ministry. I'm supposed to be doing ministry.
- [29:42]
Jacob Peterson
I was like, yeah, no, it was crazy.
- [29:45]
Julia Peterson
It was crazy.
- [29:45]
Jacob Peterson
And so anyways, I drop out of college same way as Julia. Dude, I'm studying every day in high school. Like, yen straight is all that stuff. You would. Never thought I'd do that. And I ended up going to be a part of this ministry, an evangelistic ministry, learning how to be an evangelist. And they had their internship had been closed for like three months. And God miraculously like opened a spot for me in that somebody covered my rent. I had 20 bucks in my bank account. Somebody like a generous donor, like covered my rent. I was able to go. Not only learn how to be an evangelist, we both went.
- [30:16]
Julia Peterson
I was already going.
- [30:17]
Jacob Peterson
And like it was so crazy. Crazy how it worked. But I also. It was the year of COVID when I tell you I withdrew, so I was not supposed to get any money back. I got a random check in the mail four months later for almost the exact tuition that my first semester at Liberty cost.
- [30:35]
Jeremy
Wow.
- [30:35]
Jacob Peterson
Because I ended up going to Liberty to do my biblical and theological studies degree to go into ministry. And that was crazy because I told you this. But after I decided I was going to go into ministry, I came back home. My dad told me he was leaving again. And that was like, this is the biggest redemption part of this story. There's been this constant attack of Satan on my parents marriage for 15 years of me and my siblings lives. And he tells us and he leaves. And I truly believe that Jesus had prepared me that through having my grandpa die me discover my faith, grow a relationship with him to go over. And I drove to where he was staying. I was like, dad, this is what the enemy wants for your marriage. The enemy comes to steal, to kill and destroy. He wants to tear our family apart. And I just started speaking life over him and I started speaking scripture over him. And my dad just started bawling. And it was so crazy because I truly think the Holy Spirit met him where he was at for the first time. And he came back home and we all just got together and we were just praying and praying and praying that God would just restore their marriage. It's been really cool. Because ever since that day four years ago, it's been so cool to see their marriage just begin to get stronger and stronger and stronger, get plugged into good church groups, attend church regularly, you know, those sorts of things. So all that to say, God prepared me for that moment. And I would have never known. Never known.
- [32:03]
Ginger
I think that's. That must have been such a tough place to be because here you are, you are their child.
- [32:10]
Jacob Peterson
Yeah.
- [32:10]
Ginger
And you're having to do what you're having to step up and be something that you feel like you weren't even traded to be. But God must have, like, in that moment, given you something, such clarity and strength. And that was the spirit of God, like leading you, working through you to speak that truth to your dad. And the word of God, it doesn't return void. So I think that's part of it. When you're speaking truth and allowing the Lord to use you in that way, that's incredible. And I think that must have been. It's such an incredible testimony of the Lord's work in that I know it's probably not all easy and perfect still with all that, because as believers, there's sin and there's. There's difficulty that we're going to face until the day that we die. We're all going to wrestle through different struggles of sin. And that's something that is tough. But what an incredible moment.
- [33:09]
Jacob Peterson
It was such an incredible moment. And to top off the story, I was able to baptize my entire family three weeks later.
- [33:16]
Ginger
Wow.
- [33:17]
Jacob Peterson
So Julia kind of had brought up. We grew up Catholic and you know, being Catholic, he get baptized as a baby. And so my, my parents had never made the decision to choose to follow Jesus and be baptized and make that profession of faith.
- [33:31]
Jeremy
That's incredible.
- [33:32]
Julia Peterson
And I remember Noah actually got saved when we were at Pulse. Dude, he came with you to the.
- [33:37]
Jacob Peterson
We could talk about this forever, man. Like, the Lord just radically rocked my family's life.
- [33:42]
Ginger
Wow.
- [33:42]
Jeremy
That's incredible. Okay, so looking back at that now.
- [33:45]
Jacob Peterson
Yeah, yeah.
- [33:46]
Jeremy
You. You've like walked through the valley of the shadow of death and you're looking back at God's faithfulness going, he was so faithful. Even as a nine year old. You or your little siblings, their lives are being ripped apart by divorce. But you're looking back now and going, God was so good. What encouragement would you give to whether it's young kids or whether it's a woman going through divorce now knowing the end of the story isn't written. Not every story is Going to end the way yours has or is continuing. But what advice or maybe even just encouragement would you give?
- [34:21]
Jacob Peterson
Yeah, like, the best thing that I can give as advice is number one, to stay fervent in prayer. I prayed for my parents marriage for so long that they would just find some way to love each other. Like it was that bad. Where it's like, do my parents like each other? And so just to like, number one, to fervently pray over, whether it's your spouse, your ex spouse, or your parents, whoever it is, that God would restore what the enemy is trying to destroy. And number two, to draw near to the Lord. He's close to the brokenhearted and those who are crushed in spirit. It says that in the Word. And I think for so long I searched in all the wrong places for comfort for a big part of while my parents were divorced. And this is, I guess, speaking on behalf of people who have parents who are divorced. So many wrong places. And when I drew near to the Lord, when I was crushed in spirit and brokenhearted, he gave me peace that surpassed all understanding and started to use me greater than I could ever imagine. Like, for if you were watching, like, if you're a spouse or ex spouse or even a child of someone who's going to through divorce, like, you could be the vessel that God wants to use to restore your family's marriage. And you just have to like, have your hands open and say, yes, and that's it. So, yeah.
- [35:44]
Julia Peterson
Yeah. And even if I think something look cool is the hard pain of the divorce still brought Jacob closer to the Lord and had his parents not gotten back together, you know, because there may be people watching right now who are like, there's no way. That's impossible. They're already rema. You know, you never know the story. Even the hurt of divorce itself brought Jacob close to the Lord, taught him so many things, and even you can take that and there's redemption. And now he is extra careful in our marriage. And, you know, he knows the hurt of that. So we have learned from that and have tried to do all the things we can do to be put on the path for success in our marriage. Because it's true, like, 50% of marriages do end in divorce. So. So that is a very, very hard statistic. And the odds are. Yeah, yeah. And so anyway, it's been really cool to see. I was the night that his dad let him know that he was leaving again, Jacob, he was just like, please just pray for my family. I had no idea what was going On. And so, yeah, to see that, to see them all come to the Lord was just a miracle. And it was so beautiful.
- [37:00]
Jacob Peterson
Yeah. And mom and dad, if you somehow watch this, I love you and I'm so proud of you guys.
- [37:05]
Jeremy
That's awesome.
- [37:06]
Ginger
That's so sweet.
- [37:08]
Jeremy
It is incredible to see. You mentioned Romans 8:28 earlier. The Lord works all things together for good, for those who love him and are called according to his purpose.
- [37:15]
Jacob Peterson
Kind of scuffed it up a little bit, but you got it locked in.
- [37:18]
Ginger
You got it.
- [37:18]
Jeremy
Genesis 50:20, when, after the whole Joseph narrative, when his brother sold him into slavery, and you go, how could any of this be good? And the conclusion of that, that event or that narrative which really rescued all of Israel as a nation, you could have never imagined it would have come from that. But God says of Satan, what Satan meant for evil, God meant for good. And he didn't just twist it. He didn't go, oh, man, Satan's got his play in, like, I've got to somehow figure out how to rebound. No, it says what. What Satan meant for evil, what Satan was doing. God was using all of that for good.
- [37:53]
Jacob Peterson
Yeah.
- [37:53]
Jeremy
Even when we don't see it.
- [37:54]
Jacob Peterson
Right. Yeah.
- [37:55]
Jeremy
Okay. You guys are in the Gen Z space, as we were reminded poignantly earlier how young you are. And it seems like the Lord's doing something. There's been a lot of very public events. You guys were just at the Dove Awards. You do a lot in kind of like the influencer space with Christians. But even we've noticed we've got some very dear friends who were in, you know, social media. They've got millions of followers on TikTok, on whatever, and then the Lord's saving them, and they're using that platform for Christ. And so it's not common to see, you know, two young people, you know, pursuing marriage purity, but then also with a platform of millions of followers saying, let's exalt Jesus. So talk about, what's the Lord? What do you guys see from your vantage point? Is the Lord doing it in this not very young generation? Like, not much younger than us, but slightly younger generation?
- [38:50]
Jacob Peterson
Not.
- [38:50]
Ginger
Yeah, slightly.
- [38:51]
Julia Peterson
Slightly.
- [38:52]
Ginger
Just a little, slightly younger.
- [38:54]
Jeremy
What's God doing in this slightly younger generation? Amongst my fellow young people, what is he doing.
- [39:02]
Julia Peterson
So much? I mean, you have all day. Honestly, it is. I would say, you know, it really started in 2020, because before was the influencer even a word back before that, I don't know. Like, I don't remember, there were bloggers and pinterest girls and stuff. But, you know, not like TikTok. You, God is doing so much. I could tell you I could literally pull up a DM right now and somebody's like, I'm scrolling across your page. I have been struggling to read the Bible. You recommended this Bible. I just bought it and I've been reading the Bible and I now understand it because you recommended this one to me. It's just so incredible. This is where people are. They're on their phone. We quote. I don't know who said it. Maybe it was Sadie Robertson. If Paul had an iPhone, he would have used it. He would have been on TikTok telling people, Listen, because that's where the people are, right? And we have such an incredible opportunity to reach so many people. And they're listening and they're hungry because they're searching the world and they're not finding the fulfillment that they're looking for. And when they see people, you know, I don't know if we're the hippest, coolest Gen zers ever. Probably not. But there are so many who are leading by such a great example. And the kids. The kids. I don't know. Gen Z's not really kids. There's also a lot of Gen X, right?
- [40:23]
Jacob Peterson
I don't know what the one below me is.
- [40:25]
Jeremy
Next one, Gen X or Alpha or something like that. Is it Gen Alpha? I'm googling it.
- [40:30]
Jacob Peterson
I feel like such a. I guess.
- [40:31]
Jeremy
It would go to Z to A. Right?
- [40:35]
Julia Peterson
But yeah, it's. It's spreading even farther past Gen Z with music. I'm sure you guys.
- [40:42]
Jeremy
Gen Alpha.
- [40:42]
Julia Peterson
Gen Alpha. Yeah, dude.
- [40:44]
Jacob Peterson
Forest Frank has more monthly listeners than Drake on YouTube.
- [40:48]
Julia Peterson
It's wild.
- [40:49]
Jacob Peterson
And he said this quote. I want to say this before you go on. He said, what people have done in the past is they've given up their God. And I might butcher this. This might not be exactly how he said it, but people have given up their godly values for worldly art. And he said, what I believe is coming is people are going to give up their worldly values for godly art. And I feel like that is what we're seeing firsthand. I mean, like two people, right? Last year, 200, 300 million views on our platform alone. Two people. There are hundreds, if not thousands of people doing the exact same thing we do. And that's just it. People are hungry for something real and they're hungry for the truth. And where are they at? They're on their phones. And so that's why it's such a cool opportunity and ability to reach people where they're at. I mean, that's what Jesus did. You look at Jesus throughout all the scriptures in the New Testament. In the gospels, like Jesus met people where they were at. And that's what I believe is happening. I have seen so many people. They've DMed me. They've been like, I was not remotely Christian and I'm scrolling on my. For your page and I get this video and it's like a slap in the face. Like we've made preaching videos that have quite literally like been like a slap in the face to people. And they're like, thank you. Because it woke me up to something I didn't even know I needed. And these are the. This is the testimonies for millions of people.
- [42:11]
Jeremy
It's interesting because TikTok, you know, it still has this rap as like a dance app and you know, get off TikTok little teeny bop dancers or whatever. And that's kind of how it started. Right? Like kids in the street and you'd see a kid, you know, we saw one the other day, like somebody outside doing some weird dance. And like, this is destroying the world. But what it's become, though, you can.
- [42:32]
Ginger
Still do your dances.
- [42:33]
Jeremy
Yeah, you can still.
- [42:34]
Julia Peterson
I don't know if I've ever, to.
- [42:36]
Jacob Peterson
Be fair, we don't do dances.
- [42:37]
Jeremy
But that's what I'm saying is like TikTok transformed to then like people getting on there. Like doctors got on there and philosophers and then Christians said, no, we're going to engage on here. And so now you're right. You know, you scroll on a page and all of a sudden rich theology is coming up.
- [42:52]
Jacob Peterson
Yes.
- [42:52]
Jeremy
From young people who are talking about Christ.
- [42:55]
Jacob Peterson
I think too, a lot of the younger generation is willing to listen too, because it's people who are speaking their language like it's people who are the same age as them. And to answer your question, that's why I think so many influential people in today's world are getting saved and being bold for Jesus as well. I think that there are these because every. Like everybody is on. It's like a melting pot of ideas. TikTok is. Everybody's there. And some of these people started off doing regular content, got crazy famous doing music, get everything the world has to offer. And they're like, I'm still unfulfilled, I'm still missing something. And they're able to see this content. And it's. I mean, there's all sorts of stuff. I mean, there's funny Christian content. But then there's also like, like you said, rich theology.
- [43:38]
Jeremy
Oh man, you got guys even like a Wes Huff who's not like a younger guy. But I mean he's, you know what, he's like my age for sure. Yeah. But he's, he's like, you'll go on TikTok and you're not seeing people dance. You're seeing a defense of the biblical text. Literally, you know, like deep rich engagement on issues that matter.
- [43:58]
Jacob Peterson
Yeah. And I think never knew where to go to get that. And now it's so readily available for people like, oh, I don't like this church because I had a bad experience or oh, I don't have, I've never heard a pastor be able to put it into words like this for me. But now they can go online and have these amazing like pastors who are just gifted by the Lord explain the gospel to them in a way that they've never heard before and it radically changes their life because the gospel is news that should radically change your life forever.
- [44:26]
Jeremy
I remember I was thinking about this the other day when I was a kid, you know, I didn't have a lot of friends who were my age who were believers and I was really ashamed like at times and I had to fight feeling ashamed of being a Christian. And I was just thinking like how encouraging must it be for a 13 year old kid who's the only believer they know in their middle school and they're ashamed to even tell people they're a Christian. To open up and see Forest Frank streaming beyond Drake. To open up and to see Julia and Jacob out there doing fun TikTok. Funny, humorous, like serious Bible study, like all over the map proclaiming Jesus and to embolden them and encourage them. Like I'm not alone.
- [45:11]
Jacob Peterson
Yeah.
- [45:12]
Julia Peterson
There's so much we could say and stories we could tell. But we were at Nossberry Farm. I don't know if you guys are familiar. We were there, we were.
- [45:20]
Jacob Peterson
This story's awesome. I love this story.
- [45:22]
Julia Peterson
And there's just, you know, there's all these kids and this girl comes up to us, we're eating and she's like, oh my gosh, like I cannot believe I'm meeting you guys. I love you guys. I watch all of your YouTube videos and I just, I just, you guys have inspired me so much. I brought my Bible with me today.
- [45:39]
Jacob Peterson
Because, yeah, she didn't even want to say hi to us really. She just wanted to show us that she brought her Bible.
- [45:43]
Julia Peterson
I just wanted to let you know that I brought my Bible with me and you guys really helped me strengthen, strengthen my faith. And like I brought it to read while I'm here waiting and like share her faith.
- [45:52]
Jacob Peterson
It was crazy. Like she was more excited to tell us that she brought her Bible than to even like say like, oh, I've seen.
- [45:57]
Jeremy
Well, because it's so cool. It's the proper use of a platform celebrity, you know, as we've classically understood it is building up self. And that's why we see the celebrity self destruct, because we weren't designed to be worshiped. Right. So you hear about like the child actors, they all combust because they're being placed in a position they weren't designed to be in.
- [46:19]
Ginger
Right.
- [46:19]
Jeremy
But when you see Christian celebrity, and again, it's like almost oxymoronic to use that word. You don't want to even want to use it. You're like, it's kind of like, yeah, we're not. Because we're not doing this for us. Exactly. We're just billboards kind of deflecting light. Yeah.
- [46:36]
Jacob Peterson
Literally.
- [46:36]
Jeremy
So it's like, wait, it's like the, the heart of John when he says he's Jesus and his disciples are like, hey, Jesus is getting more popular than you. He's like, yeah, he must increase, I must decrease. What don't you get about this, guys? Like the whole purpose of me drawing large crowds and being this well known preacher, famous and infamous, was to magnify him. So I decrease and it's flipping on its head of, you know, our typical understanding of celebrity or popularity. And so it's been encouraging to see you guys amongst others. You're right. Like there are others out here. We're going to link up with a few tonight that you guys know that we know who are doing the same thing.
- [47:16]
Julia Peterson
Yeah.
- [47:17]
Jeremy
Okay, Speaking of that, you guys have. Oh, we typically have one of our books on this table. You guys have your game? Yeah, There you go. Okay, so you have. This is. This is sold out several times.
- [47:32]
Jacob Peterson
Yeah, I think twice, Almost three times now.
- [47:34]
Jeremy
So talk about this game and we're going to play it.
- [47:36]
Jacob Peterson
Yeah.
- [47:36]
Jeremy
So what is this?
- [47:38]
Jacob Peterson
This game is crazy. Like the Lord just gave me a vision one night. Honestly, I was scrolling TikTok and I saw this guy playing this game called Incoherent. And basically if you don't know what incoherent is, it's like there's kind of like jamble on the front of the card and you gotta guess the hidden reference on the back oh, yeah.
- [47:56]
Jeremy
Are these the one you set aside?
- [47:57]
Jacob Peterson
These are the ones I set aside for us to play.
- [47:58]
Jeremy
Okay, well, then I can't look.
- [48:00]
Jacob Peterson
Oh, yeah, here.
- [48:01]
Jeremy
Yeah, give me this.
- [48:02]
Jacob Peterson
Guys, he's cheating. What is he doing?
- [48:04]
Ginger
I know, right? Which one's a cheap.
- [48:06]
Jeremy
I saw the one that said alpha and Omega. So take that one out.
- [48:09]
Jacob Peterson
Best card's gone.
- [48:10]
Jeremy
No, I'm kidding.
- [48:12]
Jacob Peterson
Anyways, I was watching them play this game, and the burning bush just kept popping in my head. And so then I just started jambling it. I'm like, wait, is there a Christian version of this game? And so I was like, well, I'm going to make one. And so literally, the Lord gave me every. He, like, downloaded it into my brain. He's like, okay, you're going to call it discernment, because you have to discern what the voice is and what's beneath the babble. You know, whatever.
- [48:34]
Julia Peterson
I helped with that.
- [48:35]
Jeremy
Oh, yeah, yeah.
- [48:36]
Jacob Peterson
And, like, yeah, she helped in our buddy Joe. Shout out. Joe. If you're watching this, we all were able to create this game. There's 500 cards.

Julia Peterson
So fun.

Jacob Peterson
It's like Christian phrases, biblical references, even, like, Christian culture questions.
- [48:49]
Jeremy
So we used to play. It was called Mad Gab. Yes.
